| Bluegills - big bull gills
The reason I hate muskies is every time I plan a bluegill trip the musky sickness attacks and the big gear gets loaded in the boat. I just can't control it!!!!! |

| Gar, LM Bass, Carp...oh wait.
Actually it would be stream trout for me. Honestly haven't done too much muskie stuff at all lately...the brookies have been calling my name with some regularity the past few weeks.
BTW, A-ROZ really meant to say he'd be chasing after catfish. |

| Carp, first, and flathead cats second.
Carp are my first choice, without a second thought. Carp get big. Really big. The monsters (20+ pounds) are not easy to hook, and when you do, it's like hooking a buick. They fight longer and tougher than any muskie anywhere. If you hook a 30-40+ pounder, you better bring your lunch and your dinner. Bigger rivers everywhere are full of big carp.
Flatheads get big, too. But you have to find rivers with the correct conditions that hold those guys. Holes here and there on bigger rivers. But, you can hook a 40 pounder in the right spot.
Now, I'm just talking BIG fish above. And that's where I would go. To goof around with you kids, smallies, largemouth and those ultra wimpy walleyes, I guess so. |
